Private teachers in Barnstaple

Miss Constanza was a true lifesaver for me during a challenging time in my academic journey. As a new student in a different country with a completely unfamiliar education system, I found myself a month behind in the term and struggling in both Chemistry and Math. The first semester was a struggle, but thanks to her dedicated help, I not only caught up but also excelled. One of the things that sets Ms. Constanza apart is her ability to make every lesson enjoyable. Learning with her is never dull, and she effortlessly weaves engaging stories from her own experiences in the chemistry lab, connecting complex topics to real-life situations. Her adaptability is truly impressive. Right from the first lesson, she takes the time to understand your preferred learning style. Whether it's through visual aids, PowerPoint presentations, or traditional book-based learning, she tailors her teaching to your needs. She is also incredibly organized, and after each lesson, she ensures you apply what you've learned through exercises and practical applications. Her support and understanding create a comfortable learning environment, making it easier to grasp challenging concepts. Additionally, her knowledge of the subjects is extensive, and her dedication to her students' success is remarkable. Miss Constanza went above and beyond, helping me not only pass my Year 10 IGCSEs in Chemistry and Math but also instilling in me a deep understanding of these subjects. Her kindness, care, and unwavering support were invaluable throughout our lessons. She was always willing to go the extra mile, even dedicating her weekend evenings to help me review a topic. I am extremely grateful to have had Miss Constanza as my tutor for Chemistry and Math. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I genuinely look forward to having lessons with her again this year. If you've ever struggled with Math or Chemistry, Ms. Constanza can absolutely transform your perspective on the subject and help you excel.

Thank you so much - I had a very good experience I want to share! Adam I highly recommend Ananda as a language and music teacher. I am at an intermediate Brazilian Portuguese level and (sadly) an enthusiastic perpetual beginner at guitar given a lack of necessary intrinsic ability. She excelled teaching both for the daily 3 hour lessons I had over 3 weeks. Portuguese instruction: Ananda was not dogmatic and met me where I was. She was able to personalize all our lessons. She used current tools of language acquisition - with much spontaneous and directed conversation using comprehensible input. However, she supplemented this with reading aloud together with translation of texts including geography, poetry and other prose. Ananda also drilled me in grammar when she saw this was necessary, even when it meant revision of shaky basics. All of this was with great humor and tolerance to my infelicities. We also went on fun outings, making use of the markets and parks in Porto to improve my working knowledge of Portuguese. Music instruction: Ananda also worked with me on my guitar playing. She has deep knowledge as both a performing musician of early lute music and a composer. She taught me in Portuguese, which meant my learning solfège, how to sound out rhythm and figure out harmony. She also taught me enough tablature to allow me to accompany her in some early lute music. We also worked intensively on Bossa Nova rhythms, as well as other Brazilian rhythms. She has a passion and love of music that is a delight to behold and infectious. Despite my continually straying from the rhythm and messing up chord changes, she made me feel my musical journey is im

Cheslava did not waste a moment of time and found her rhythm with my son very quickly. There was an amazing sense of grace and patience in her tone, yet there was a firm bit of direction that moved the lesson in a clear direction. As a particular detail, I very much appreciated the moments that she asked my son about his experience throughout, and encouraged him to describe every degree of his challenges which I believe teaches him to go beyond the impact of his feelings but to technically observe weaknesses to improve them. It was a sincere honor and privilege to receive her lesson and we will certainly be looking forward to being taught by her again. 👑
